Lucy is Sick (2020 – ongoing), Book / Installation
This book tackles cancer as a personal narrative under the guise of a coloring book. Most chapters appear as double spreads of text and image, a structure that compels the texts to remain short and condensed. This framework is occasionally abandoned to discuss issues such as the cinematic representation of pain.

Lucy is Sick will be presented as an installation as part of the exhibition Roee Rosen: The Kafka Companion to Wellness, Kunstverein Hannover, February – April 2024. An early publication of the book’s first few chapters was commissioned for the quarantine edition of Steirischer-Herbst in 2020, and distributed in the Graz public hospital and through other venues. The work on the full version of the book is ongoing. For PDFs of the German and English 2020 Steirischer-Herbst editions, go to the Writings and Artist Books page.
